Thanks a lot for your comments and "likes" (on facebook) we are so happy that you love the new collection ! We can't wait to see the new patterns follow you to the beach, lovely summer nights, etc... Send us pics as soon as you can !

I'm sorry that the blog went really slow this past few weeks as we were working on an updated version, including our friends links and little changes in the design so that you'll be aware of everything at any time ! I'm also currently working on a interview of our fashion muse, Nadège Winter, talking about her inspirations and this fall next step with great surprises (should be online next week!)

In order to give you a little something to be patient, here is a cool pic that Nadège send me, one of our favorite bands, MGMT seems to enjoy knitting as a really cute knitted headband appeared in their last and really weird video on the head of the sweetest but traumatized kid ever ! A really nice idea if you go to a music festival this summer, embroid a Nina Rich headband with the name of your favorite band ! That rocks !

By the way don't forget our "Knit In Public" contest ! Send a crazy pic, video or drawing about this theme and win a Tala Tank Top kit ! Few more days till the end of the competition (till sunday 5) so don't waste a second ! More information here.

Join the Gang — Zion Jack Lion

Jack can definitely strike the pose !

Few days ago, Lili received a message from Marina, mum of a little Jack, for whom she knitted a really cute tweed grey Zion Lion hat ! Looking for a "I love my alpaca" she's bought 3 kits so far and was still desperate to find this very patch. Lili is such a sweetheart so she send to her one of hers. Here is Marina's cool message :

Dear Lili
here is a pic of Jack in his new hat
i learnt to knit last month on your web site (found out about you through a friend who became a fan on facebook), i never thought i would knit... nor live up a mountain... one just never knows!
great fun
thanks again,
Marina
